How To Use the Get Command
Use the NCL Get command to display the value of MIB variables on the
router. You can obtain the pathname by using the List command (page
7-17).
Syntax
get MIB identifier
get MIB identifier [*]
where:
MIB identifier is a pathname identifying a specific MIB
variable. The identifier must be a pathname from one the router’s
highest-level objects, such as ‘‘buf’’. (Refer to the ‘‘Managed Objects
Table’’ on page 7-14.)
* is a ‘‘wild card’’ specifying all in the branch beyond the object
immediately preceding the *.
Examples
To get the value for all MIB variables in a branch, use Get with the
high-level managed object name for that branch.
get buf.* Displays all MIB variable values for
buffers
To get the value for all MIB variables in an intermediate branch, use Get
with an intermediate-level managed object name. For example:
get buf.msg.* Either command displays the values for
get 11.1.0.* the message variables under buffers
To get the value for a single MIB variable, use Get with the complete
pathname to the variable. For example:
get buf.1.msg.size Either command displays the value for the
get 11.1.0.5 message size buffer
For more information on the Get command, refer to the Operator’s
Reference.
